Springer, Nathan

The Springer lab focuses on studying the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that lead to variation in gene expression levels. Genetic changes can lead to altered gene expression through variation in cis-acting or trans-acting factors. Epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation are not based on sequence specific regulation. The molecular basis of epigenetic regulation occurs through the modification of chromatin states, such as DNA methylation or histone modifications.
